The New Health Age

The Future of Health Care in America

David Houle & Jonathan Fleece

The New Health Age: The Future of Health Care in America introduces, defines and explains the New Health Age America has entered. It sets forth what health care and medicine will look like in the years ahead and offers hope and promise for a healthier society. This book first takes a look at history, the health care system as it exists today and the current health of Americans. It then presents and explains the nine dynamic flows that are and will transform health care and how these flows will dramatically change the economics and how we think about and deliver health care in our country. The book presents the definitions and descriptions of the new institutional landscape of health care and medicine in the next 10 to 15 years and provides suggestions for what health care providers, legislators, and educators can do to succeed in the years ahead. Finally it calls for making America the healthiest nation in the world by launching “The Race for a Healthy America”. It is already being called THE book to intelligently shape and guide the discussion and reorganization of health care reform in America.
